Authorize.Net Will Be Expanding The Range Of Transaction IDs Issued By The Payment...

[ktaylor310]

Anyone else receive this ominous notice from Authorize.net

It is critical that you contact your developer to verify whether your integration will be impacted. Specifically, please provide your developer with the following information:

The Transaction ID, or x_trans_id, is specified as a 10-digit integer and will only be affected if that value is represented as an INT data type, which has a max value of 2,147,483,647. If you have specified the Transaction ID as a string value, then your system will not be affected. Failure to accommodate 10-digit values larger than 2,147,483,647 will result in your system's inability to accept Authorize.Net transactions.

Note: If you need to make updates to your Transaction ID architecture, you should do so prior to October 1, 2008, to ensure that you will not be affected.

Will this effect osCommerce shops using authorize.net module?

Have the answer if anyone is interested. osCommerce shops will not be effected if you are using authorize.net aim module as no transaction id's are stored in the database.
